1956 United States Presidential Election

It seems like a lost cause at this point but I'm sticking with the Socialists.

A bit offtopic Dr J, but using my (rudimentary) knowledge of Russian I did a double take and translated your name as "Comrade Tire Radish" x.x

lol

Google does it fine.

Are people seriously voting against Eisenhower just because he has an 'R' next to his name?

No, because I disagree with him on the issues.

But forcing no-name candidates on the Socialists means that we do know what is going to happen in the future.

Are there any big-name candidates? Was goddamn Seymour Stedman not a no-name candidate? He was a lawyer who happened to be elected Vice-President. Was Norman Thomas not a no-name candidate? He was a mayor or something! Daniel Hoan is not a no-name candidate! He served for 24 years as mayor of Milwaukee IRL and several years as Governor of Wisconsin in Atlamerica. That's not a no-name to me.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This. Plus in this timeline he's a fycking Vice-President. How is that no-name?
